Parish News: Pentecost & Tenth Week of the Year

50 days after Easter, the Holy Spirit descends on the apostles and gives them the gift of speaking in languages they do not know. This shows that the message that they preach is for all people and nations. We can communicate God through what we say, but also through what we do – because the language of love is universal and needs no translation. 

You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here. 

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.

The Faithful departed
All who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.

The Homezone festival on Lupton Street will take place on Saturday 11th June. Details on the poster at the back of church.
